On 29 April, official candidates for the presidency of the European Commission will debate in Maastricht. Team Europe is represented by Guy Verhofstadt.

The Maastricht Debate 2019 is being jointly organised by the three partners of Maastricht, Working on Europe – Maastricht University, the City of Maastricht and the Province of Limburg – as well as the European Youth Forum and the European Journalism Centre. As in 2014, the debate is particularly focussed on the concerns of students and young people across Europe, many of whom will be voting for the first time.

The debate is broadcast live on Youtube by Politico from 19 CEST.
